I went and hung out with my boss, got spaghetti and helped him destroy a cabinet at his place. It was a good experience. Their canoe was in the swimming pool because their 4 year old son wanted it that way. Drake (the kid) went and got into this giant canoe in a somewhat small pool and started paddling around. 4 Years old and the kid can just jump into a canoe like that. I was awe-struck.
I started babbling about the neural connections that he was making in his brain and how at this age it's really amazing that he can do that so well. I then turned bright pink, blushing because neither of the adults present knew what I was talking about.
Ah science, how you make me feel like Totoro. So misunderstood. So in tune. So BIG.
In other news, I can now say with some certainty that the storm is about to come. Next week I start my next 6 units for a total of 15 this semester. I'm not some pansy quarter learner oh no, I'm a semester man. I sit through the long, bleak winter of class so that I may someday see the summer of learnedlyness. Tomorrow we're supposed to watch for flash floods and baton down the hatches because it'll be windy as fuck, good thing I got my bike riding out of the way today. Soon comes fog and I will once again be happy every time I step outside in the morning.
I ache for cold and rain. I'm hungry for dark skies and still, thick fog. I haven't seen a winter like that for some years now and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the wind and the cold that bites, I want cold that's like a blanket again, cold that keeps me warm.
The world is changing too much for me, I need a fucking vacation.
